Accidentally in love- A Kate Martin story

Chapter 15

                                   Kate POV:
My ankle was throbbing, as soon as I hit the floor I felt it starting to hurt and the pain is just slowly going up, "Are you serious? That was clearly intentional!" I hear Caitlin yell, I assumed she was yelling at the refs because I thought it was intentional too, but my ankle hurt way too much to get up and try and stop her. The trainer finally make her way over to me, "Kate, what's wrong?"

I slowly roll over and look at the trainer, I was breathing really heavy right now and I could feel a panic attack coming, "My-my ankle. The right one." I managed to breathe out, "Okay Kate, do you think you can walk on it?"

"I- I can try."

The trainer helps me up and I can walk on it, but very gingerly, I'm slowly walking to the locker room and I feel an arm wrap around my waist, I look over to see Jada putting my arm around her shoulders, "Come on K, I've got you." With Jada and the trainers help I finally make it to the medical bed and the trainer takes off my shoe, I wince a bit and Jada notices and she holds my hand, I look over to her and softly smile at her. I was glad she was here with me, I've grown really close to get over the last 2 years and she was one of my best friends and my main support system.

After the trainer examined my ankle, she finally looks up at me and says, "Your in luck Kate, it's just bruised pretty bad, just get some ice and rest and it will heal it quickly. You took a pretty hard fall, is anything else bothering you?" I let out a sigh of relief and I squeeze Jada's hand, "No I'm okay, am I cleared to play?"

She smiles at me before saying, "Well, I think it's pretty safe to assume that you guys are winning today since your up by so much, so I would sit out of practice tomorrow so your 100% for the game. I also want to keep you here a little bit longer just in case the bruise gets bigger or it starts swelling."

I take a deep breath before finally saying, "Thank you."

"Of course Kate, I'll give you two some privacy, call if you need anything."

She walk out of the trainers room which leaves me and Jada, "Jeez Kate, don't ever scare me like that again you hear me?" She says and she slaps me playfully, "Ow! It's not my fault that the girl had beef with me!"

"Seriously, what did you do to her?"

"Dude I literally did absolutely nothing! I think she's just jealous or something."

Before Jada could respond Caitlin comes bursting through the door and over to the bed to hug me, "Kate! Are you okay?"

I laugh softly and say, "Yeah I'm okay, she just said that I bruised it and I'll miss practice tomorrow."

"Thank god." She says as she gives me one more hug, "Also, I got like a thousand texts from Emma asking if you were okay because you weren't answering her, so call her please before I go insane."

I realized that I totally forgot to call Emma, she was probably watching the game and worried about me, I guess I was just to stressed to hear the news about my ankle to call Emma, "Oh crap, can you grab my phone please?"

Caitlin walks out of the room and a few minutes later she comes back with my phone in hand, I open it up and I see a flood of messages from Emma and I immediately feel bad for not calling her sooner, "I'll give you some privacy K, you okay?" Jada asks, I let her know that I'm fine and as soon as her and Caitlin leave the room I call Emma and she answers right away.

"Oh my god Kate! Are you okay?"

"I'm okay babe, she just said it's a pretty bad bruising and that I'll have to sit out for practice tomorrow but that's it."

She lets out a sigh of relief before saying, "Okay that's good. When do you think you'll be home?"

"Um, the trainer said she wants to keep me here for a bit to make sure it doesn't start swelling or anything like that, so probably late." I glance at the clock and it's already 10pm, "I'd say around 11."

"Okay, text me when you leave, I love you."

"I love you to Em, I'll be home soon."

After a few more minutes the trainer comes back in the room and examines my ankle, "Yeah, it's just a pretty bad bruising, you'll be able to drive. Just keep icing it and try not to use it as much. You can go home now."

"Thank you, do I need to come here tomorrow?"

"Yes please, just to make sure that it's healing."

"Yes ma'am, I'll see you tomorrow."

I walk out of the room and into the locker room to grab my bag, everyone already left because it was late, it's about 11:30 now and I'm finally going home to Emma.

Once I get home I quietly open the door, assuming Emma was asleep and I didn't want to wake her, but I found her sitting on the couch watching tv, once she sees me she gets up from her spot on the couch and walks over to me, "Hi baby." She says as she wraps me into a hug, I let out a deep sigh and say, "Hi, you didn't have to wait up for me." She pulls back and gives me a kiss, "I wanted to. Does your ankle hurt?"

"I'm more interested in how you're feeling, is Emily still here?"

"No, she said she has a 8am class tomorrow to get ready for so she left a few minutes ago."

I lean down and pull her into a soft kiss, "And how are you feeling?" I manage to get out between kisses. "Better now that you're here, you looked good out there today."

Shes getting bold, I decide to match her boldness and say, "Oh yeah?"

"Mhm."

I put my lips to her ear and whisper, "Seems like you're feeling better then."

"I am. You make me feel better."

I smile and give her a kiss on the cheek, slowly, I walk over to the medicine cabinet to grab the thermometer, Emma walks in the bathroom with me and I put the thermometer under her tongue. Once it was done reading her temp, I take a look at it to see that her temperature was back to normal. I cup her cheeks and smile, "No more fever!" She kisses me and says, "Thank god, that was the worst 3 days of my life."

I laugh softly and say, "I know baby, but it's over now."

"Mhm. Get ready for bed, I'll get some ice for your ankle ready."

I give her a kiss on the cheek and say, "Thanks baby, I'm going to take a shower real quick."

Once I get out of the shower, I lay in bed and Emma gives me a bag of ice to put on my ankle, after watching an episode of our show that we watch every night, I pour the bag of ice into the sink and I get back in bed, pulling Emma close to me.
